You have the wrong SDL2 download. Use the VC build, not the mingw when using Visual Studio. You will find the *.lib files within that download that you need.

You have to specify the complete name of the library that you want to add as "Additional Dependencies". The path where libraries have to be looked up are set in "Additional Library Directories".

Replace SDL2 with SDL2.lib in that field.
